Talking Early & Often: Body Safety Conversations for Kids & Caregivers

Talking early and often with children about body safety is an essential component of child sexual abuse prevention—and should be part of everyday household safety routines. Join guest panelists from Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) to learn practical ways that parents and caregivers can empower children to be body-aware, understand healthy boundaries, and identify strange behaviors that may be red flags for grooming. Panelists will share insight from professional work in the field of child abuse response, and from personal experience as advocates for safe kids in their families or communities. This session is geared for parents and caregivers, professionals interacting with children, and community members committed to creating safe places for Pennsylvania children. Handouts provided will include Signs of Abuse flyer and a kid-friendly 5 Body Safety Rules fridge poster.
